Inside the Shelter.
Lin Yi installed the Space-Time Sail, composed of five giant stones connected by a pedestal, as well as the Space-Time Harpoon.
But unlike other structures, the Space-Time Harpoon is a massive spherical object floating in the Sea of Space-Time, orbiting around the Shelter.
After completing the installation of these buildings, Lin Yi went to the center of the Wandering Island.
By the time he arrived, Coin, rewards, and the Energy Core had already been allocated by his deputies.
Lin Yi stopped in front of the military base, jumped off the "Dagger" motorcycle, and walked toward Hubert.
"We need to get everyone and everything out of here quickly, we need to leave this island immediately— we can't stay in one place for too long now."
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you later."
"Alright, boss!" Hubert ran off.
At this moment, Terghai came over with his people.
"Boss Lin Yi, we... have decided we can't stay here any longer. I believe you understand, Teruo can't stay with you any longer either.
But as promised, we'll give you 500 young warriors and craftsmen, along with their families. We hope they'll still be safe a year later..."
"Oh, why?"
"Since we found out there's an item that can create worlds, I have the responsibility to make my tribe stronger, to rally other Ark people of our clan under my banner, and lead them into battle to Purification Island!"
"I understand."
Lin Yi nodded. He thought that if he were in Terghai's position, he would do the same.
"Good luck. Hope to see you again!"
"Ha! We're allies, we can always contact each other for trade or mutual assistance!"
"Contact each other?"
"I don't know how you humans do it, but as long as we're in the same area, our Arks can communicate with each other."
"Alright, I'll figure out a way to do that, but for now, we need to find a way to leave here."
Lin Yi told the Beastman Lord about what happened after activating the Heart of the World.
Teruo listened and also advised him to leave quickly.
The flash of Life Energy may have been seen by people in many regions.
Additionally, the Shelter now shines like a beacon in the night...
The Beastmen began preparing for the emergency evacuation.
Teruo suggested to Lin Yi to head toward the border area of the Sea of Space-Time, as the powerful fragments were fewer there.
However, there are also more Space-Time Monsters and large fragments occupied by evil souls.
Lin Yi thought about it, deciding to choose the lesser of two evils and head to the border area.
He had to abandon half the walls, a tenth of the hedgehog barricades, and the wreckage of Louis' tank.
But the real heartbreak was having to abandon the southern city, which likely had a lot of technology and resources.
The evacuation continued until midnight...
"Good luck, don't lose your life," Lin Yi said, shaking the Beastman Lord's hand.
At this moment, Terghai was excited.
"Boss Lin Yi, you too, let us know if you need anything."
The Beastman grinned, revealing his fangs, and then he stepped back a few paces.
The Shelter shook slightly as the border between the two fragments was once again shrouded in mist...
Half an hour later.
"Hey, Shelter, how do I contact allies? No answer, huh? Did I hurt your feelings?"
Lin Yi murmured under his breath, then heard a voice. He followed the sound and found an old radio under the table.
Ever since he arrived here, this radio has always been in the Shelter, but Lin Yi never knew what it was for.
The sound came from a phone receiver hanging on the side of the equipment.
Lin Yi spoke into the receiver, "A radio, huh? Is anyone there?"
"What does that phrase mean?" Terghai's voice responded.
"It's just a saying," Lin Yi said nonchalantly. "Anyway, I've figured out how to contact you."
"Teruo said you're the most promising person he's seen in six hundred years, looking forward to our next meeting!"
"Really? Well, good luck. Oh, wait— I almost forgot to tell you good news! Mary is pregnant, you're going to be a dad!"
He shouted into the silent receiver, "Hey? Anyone there? Hey!"
Alright...
Lin Yi turned his head and entered the Space-Time Beacon.
"So where exactly should I go?!"
Lin Yi muttered to himself, he had to take the Shelter to the border area, but where exactly is the border area?
"Let me think... The more stars there are and the brighter they are, the closer to the center, right? Not necessarily, but... I can only judge by this!"
Lin Yi decided to send the Shelter to the place with the fewest stars, and as he turned his head from side to side, he found an almost completely dark area.
He gave a command in his heart, and the shelter turned, flying in the direction he indicated.
At first, it flew slowly, but gradually began to accelerate until the moving island disappeared from sight.
Now, this moving island has been purified; it is no longer a black spot in the darkness of space.
It's just an ordinary fragment full of high vitality, but this won't last long, as the zombies will soon pour in again, and it will once again be covered by the toxins of the zombie virus.
After completing this crucial task, Lin Yi attended a meeting attended by all the important figures in the shelter.
This included Hubert, Solomon, Chen Youyou, Immanuel, Mark, Blaise, the girls, and even Valerie.
"Well, first, I want to thank everyone. You've all done exceptionally well, and we've received generous rewards for purifying that moving island. Of course, it's a pity we couldn't loot the Zombie Lord's city, but as we say in Chinese, 'greedy people ascend to heaven early!'"
No one really understood this phrase, but they all nodded nonetheless.
Solomon raised his hand to ask a question.
"Boss, what do you plan to do now? Are you still planning to go to Berlin, then to Russia?"
Solomon had been badly injured by the Zombie General, but thanks to a miraculous drug, he has recovered.
"Yes, but we need to earn something along the way, like... a lot of money!"
Lin Yi told everyone about the Heart of the World and what happened after he used it.
Everyone was stunned.
"So, Earth is heading toward demise?" Valerie asked with a pale face.
In the past few days, too many intense and overwhelming things had happened. She hadn't had time to think about complicated issues like the ultimate fate of Earth.
"I'm afraid so; it's being devoured by the Sea of Space-Time, which is how the Sea of Space-Time expands."
"So there's really no hope for Earth!?"
"Exactly. The system says this virus will infect humans, making them weak, and soon everyone will lose the ability to reproduce."
"Then is this the end for humanity?" Valerie said, tears in her eyes, slumping into a chair.
Then she suddenly jumped up again.
"But I've seen pregnant women in the shelter. Solomon's wife is pregnant!"
"Yes, that's right. People will gradually eliminate the virus in their bodies in the shelter. If the shelter's level is high enough, we might be able to develop some sort of vaccine or something. I'm not really sure..."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone present stared at him in shock; they hadn't known about this before.
"Uh... did I forget to mention this? Hehe, I've been a bit busy lately, you understand."
Chen Youyou still asked, "Boss... can we tell others about this?"
"Go ahead," Lin Yi answered with a shrug.
He had never thought that many people in the shelter would be worried about human extinction and the demise of their home planet.
"Hubert, what about the battle results?"
"Have a look!"
Lin Yi took the battle report and started reading.
29 dead, 66 injured...
90% of the ammunition consumed—including bullets, arrows, and even burning agents.
Lost two trucks and one armored vehicle.
The Fire God Machine Gun is also damaged beyond repair...
Good news!?
The soldiers are now an average level of 8, with thirty people reaching level 10! Mage numbers are even higher.
Additionally, almost all the civilian volunteers are now at least level 5, an impressive force.
Lin Yi nodded while looking at the report.
"Not bad, make me a list of all the people who reached level 10, along with their skills."
"Understood, boss."
"Professor Mark, how is Louis doing? And the other injured?"
"Not too bad," the exhausted professor replied dryly.
Seeing the boss was not satisfied with this answer, he decided to elaborate.
"He's quite resilient for his age, just a few broken ribs and over a dozen scratches, others should be fine too. The Recovery Platform is truly a miraculous device! It can immediately detect any injury and assist with treatment; we don't even need medicine."
"Got it, glad to hear this news. Solomon, how about the spoils?"
"Well, boss, we got 271,000 Gold Coins, 995 level-2 cores, 83 level-3 cores, and one level-4 core."
"A level-4 core? Did we get it from the Zombie General?"
"Yes, boss! As for rewards, we received 1811 white rewards, 1077 green rewards, 565 blue rewards, and 101 purple rewards. Additionally, there's a jewelry box obtained after defeating the General."
"Not bad, alright everyone, it's time to sleep. There's a lot of work for each of you tomorrow!"
Everyone dispersed.
Lin Yi took a shower and then went home to sleep.
He decided to find the Red Wine General tomorrow.
Now that he has fully recovered, he's no longer peeling, but still finds the regeneration process a bit unpleasant.
He noticed he's grown a bit taller, and the old injury on his back, which forced him to sleep on a hard mattress, has now healed...
